Outstanding thread. Well done, fellas. Saw so many cards/issues I never knew existed. Left me a bit overwhelmed.

Another 1931 Blum's Bulletin for this fantastic thread:

Actually, the 1 player per E94 orange rule is now cracked. I have personally seen a 7 and an 8 (I believe) Cobbys....definitely 2 orange Cobbs.,...Awesome cards...

It is, but even though I started this thread with my 1/1 Mathewson, I received an offer I couldn't turn down...oh, well...guess I'd better print up another one. LOL

I guess you had a motivated buyer….

I used to own this T206 Tinker missing the Red ink. Wish that I still had it.

[mordecaibrown1]

Nice Tinker here is a Cobb & a couple other rare ones.

[Seven]

Some wonderful cards we've been seeing. I figured I'd ask this here, because it is indeed a very rare card, does anyone own a 1950-51 Toleteros Josh Gibson, that they wouldn't mind posting and sharing? I'm curious to the amount of them that exist along with how you acquired the card/the story behind it. Thank you.

I know it's not baseball, but these are two of the most famous athletes in the world and rare as it gets, from Israel in 1970:

from my NY Highlander collection

[Bill77]

Probably the rarest card in my collection. I probably paid too much for it, but it's mine now.

[mannybb24]

1 of 1? Probably, never seen another.
Don't mind the PSA newton rings, I should've went the SGC route!

[MikeGarcia]

Excuse my language but :... I've been looking to upgrade this 1933 Wheaties Jack Hallet since Hector was a pup :
.
.

..The Fats Fothergill is also rare but it does appear every five or six years or so , as does his '20's Exhibits and his Worch Cigar ;


... so I'd say , yeah , Jack Hallet , rare...

..

[BobbyStrawberry]

Not sure how truly rare this is, but I have yet to see another.

[JollyElm]

This is a popular post-war variation, 1967 Topps #252 Bob Bolin 'White Streak Between Name' (bad grammar aside), that also belongs in the 'I have yet to see another' category. Whereas the white streak is 'supposed' to be more or less of a thick, straight, white line connecting the two names, this one has the same extra white ink responsible for said streak smeared all around the same area. Pretty cool...

It's interesting to go back in time, in this thread, and see cards that have shuffled between board members.

a scarce card, if not rare..

1888 N338-1 SF Hess California League.

Very few exist, probably 20 +/-, Burdick donated 11 from his private collection to the Metropolitan Museum of Art so there's 9 or 10 out in the wild.

I missed this thread during my hiatus. It has been an absolute pleasure looking at all of these amazing cards.

[Lucas00]

1946 Sears is Probably my Rarest. Maybe my '53 northland bread label is up there as well, never seen one of Schoendienst for sale.

[bbcard1]

One that is in proper order and that I can find easily.

[Pato15]

Nothing too special for me...not certain on the Chance population, but the Herzog w/ Sweet Cap 460 Fact. 25 has a total TPG pop of 5, as does the T213-3 Coupon.

Love resurrecting these older posts!

Thanks!

My rarest

[butchie_t]

Mine belong on page 100+ of this thread. But these are two of my rarest.

Connie Johnson 1952 Colorado Springs Sky Sox (top right). The Johnson is the rarest of the Sky Sox issued. Exactly how rare is hard to quantify but there are not many.
The corners are not clipped but these are inserted in the album that was available with this set when offered back in 52.

The Frank Howard Black Bio print is 1 of 10 made. I own 10% of all that were made. (sounds impressive.)

This is by far my rarest card.

[Texxxx]

My rarest.

[gonefishin]

Probably one of my rarest cards is this 1967 Kabya Leaf #2 Hideki Watanabe, but even more rare is the pack it is contained in.

[NATCARD]

This may be the only one in existence.

[ksfarmboy]

Wow that Murray is awesome!

[MVSNYC]

This one...followed by this one... (Both originating from Ryan H.)

[gabrinus]

Love that T214 Devore Bruce...Jerry

[aljurgela]

Still...

[Luke]

WOW. Someone has to follow Al so I'll bite the bullet. I have a few T206 1-of-1s
